The discovery of photonic crystals 30 years ago in conjunction with research advances in plasmonics and metamaterials, has inspired the concept of decameter scale metasurfaces, coined seismic metamaterials for an enhanced control of surface (Love and Rayleigh) and bulk (shear and pressure) elastodynamic waves.These powerful mathematical tools of co
The genus Macaranga comprises about 300 species worldwide and is commonly distributed in the tropical region of Africa, Southeast Asia, China and India.The plant of this genus was reported to possess various medicinal properties which have been traditionally used to treat various illnesses such as fungal infection, malaria, stomachache, and diarrho
Abstract.Rationale:.Severe heart failure in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients is a great treatment challenge.Here we reported a chronic HD patient with the lowest ejection fraction reported so far and hypotension who well tolerated and benefited from angiotensin-receptor neprilysin inhibitor (ARNI) treatment.Patient concerns:.This case was a 67 ye
Veldoreotide, a somatostatin analogue, binds to the somatostatin receptors (SSTR) 2, 4, and 5.The current aim was to assess its pharmacological orb grinder activity as an SSTR4 agonist.G-protein signaling was assessed using a fluorescence-based membrane potential assay in human embryonic kidney 293 (HEK293) cells stably co-expressing G-protein-coup
